CAS 544-16-1

Butyl nitrite

Description:

Butyl nitrite, with the CAS number 544-16-1, is an organic compound classified as an alkyl nitrite. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic fruity odor. Butyl nitrite is known for its use as a vasodilator, which means it can widen blood vessels and is sometimes used recreationally for its euphoric effects. The compound is highly volatile and flammable, requiring careful handling and storage away from heat sources and open flames. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Butyl nitrite can decompose upon exposure to air and light, leading to the formation of potentially harmful byproducts. Due to its effects on the cardiovascular system, it can pose health risks, including headaches, dizziness, and in severe cases, methemoglobinemia, a condition where hemoglobin is altered and cannot effectively carry oxygen. As such, safety precautions are essential when working with or using butyl nitrite in any capacity.
